The Christian Atheist – A Winner!

As I’m sure most of you are aware, my good buddy, Jason and I have been doing Wednesday book discussions for quite a while. Recently, we completed our first book, Mad Church Disease, by Anne Jackson. (Phenomenal book & great discussion!) And for the last seven days, we have given you all a chance to enter to win a copy of the next book we’ll be discussing—The Christian Atheist, by Craig Groeschel.

I am giving away ONE copy here and you can scoot over to Jason’s site, where he is also giving away ONE copy.

And the winner here is…

KEVIN MARTINEAU

Congratulations, Kevin!! Please email me at smsalter78@yahoo.com with your snail mail address and we’ll get your book in the mail as quickly as possible!

And now, if I may borrow a snippet from Jason’s post to help explain some of the changes we’re looking at…

With this next book, we’re hoping to garner even more discussion by adding a link widget where you can link to your own posts on the chapter. You can think of it as sort of a book club blog carnival.

Some reasons I think this will be awesome:

It allows us to gain even more perspective and discussion than we do when being limited to a comment box

For bloggers, you can have your Wednesday posts planned out so you don’t have to worry about coming up with new topics (hey, it’s practical but true!)

I’m hoping it will encourage more people to read this book and be a part. It’s not about meeting a quota or setting a certain standard for “success,” my goal has always been to connect people to each other and that which will impact us all toward knowing Jesus more.

It’s certainly not a prerequisite that you post every week, but you are welcome to do that. If you can’t, no problem! You could read with us and post as often as you like. Would you be willing to do that?

Folks, I can’t tell you how much God moved in my heart during the last discussion. And I’m hoping He moved in your hearts, as well. Now, let’s prepare to allow Him to move in us, again! Please join us back here next Wednesday, when we will begin to discuss Chapter 1.

Since I’m a slacker and didn’t comment so I could win the book (not commenting doesn’t mean not reading…fear not), I’m on Amazon right now buying the book. Can’t wait to start reading it and dicussing it!!!

Aww, Marns! I know you’re not a slacker! You’re just busy ridding the world of pestilence (i.e. bees and mice). But I’m glad you’re buying it anyway. Now, you can come discuss it with me and Jason. You know that we both need your exceeding wisdom to keep us on the straight and narrow. 🙂

When I was 13 years old, I stumbled across my friend, Corie, writing a letter. When I asked Corie what she was doing, she responded, “Writing a letter to Daddy God.” Those six words changed my life. And ever since, no matter where life has taken me, I’ve had a journal within arm’s reach. In March of 2009, I began to share my thoughts and lessons and prayers with you. And so, here we are. By day, I’m an administrative assistant, freelance writer and editor. I blog here at Living Between the Lines, while simultaneously living outside lines. I’m originally from the Crystal Coast of North Carolina. Today, I happily make my home in the suburbs of Portland, Oregon. Join me between the lines. You’re welcome and safe within them.
